Victor Davis Hanson: “The Nihilism of the Left”

 

Victor Davis Hanson posted “The Nihilism of the Left” at American Greatness, and he concludes:  

The Left got what it wanted and now controls academia, the media, the internet, K-12 education, corporate boardrooms, the Pentagon, Wall Street, and Hollywood. And they more or less have turned each of these into versions of Pravda. The sermons, arrogance, and narcissism of these woke cultural imperialists now explain why they are disliked as much abroad as they are at home. 

In sum, we are watching a rare laboratory experiment in which the traditional American fringe is now in control of the government. In pursuit of its utopian omelet, the Left cares little about the millions of middle-class Americans it must break to make it. The result is an unmitigated disaster that not only has tarred the Democratic Party, corrupted once-revered agencies, and alienated half the country from our cultural institutions, but now endangers the very health and security of the United States. 

VDH’s full article is here.  Let us hope that what we are witnessing is indeed “a rare laboratory experiment” that can fail and be replaced by experiments that have worked – you know, a constitutional republic.

Dr Malone: Is that the world you want to live in?

 

InfoWars posted a transcript of some of the interview with Dr Robert Malone:

Dr. Robert Malone, scientist and inventor of the mRNA technology used in the COVID injections, is sounding the alarm about the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) plan for “global fascism.”

In a Thursday interview with Rebel News, Dr. Malone voiced his support for the Canadian Trucker Convoy and broke down how that movement is undermining the “heavy-handed totalitarianism” of the WEF’s Great Reset.

“For me, it’s the truckers’ emphasis on medical autonomy,” Malone said. “The science is on the side of the Canadian and US Truckers.”

“What comes out on the other side really depends on if people value personal autonomy, and it depends on if are they’re willing to step up and fight for it — or are they ok with becoming serfs in a techno-fascist situation where the global financial elite control everything you do? Is that the world you want to live in? Is that the world you want your children to live in? Because that’s what’s at stake here.”

Malone highlighted how the WEF’s Great Reset model is essentially a sophisticated form of corporate fascism first outlined by WWII Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

. . .

“He actually suggested that a better term than fascism, is Corporatism; that’s what the World Economic Forum attempts to advance is a global fascism – a global corporatism – they don’t hide it. They use different words, but I’m pretty dug in on trying to use plain talk, that people understand, and not hiding things behind fancy words,” he added.

WEF founder Klaus Schwab recently spoke at the Global Government Summit to promote the Great Reset, insisting that the “COVID crisis” is the perfect vector to completely transform energy, food, and supply chain systems in what he calls the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

If you thought Washington DC was corrupt . . .

 

Michael Snyder at Conservative Playlist has some additional perspectives on the now-viral interview with Madison Cawthorn – on the “Corruption in Washington DC.”  As bad as you thought it was, it’s worse:

Most Americans realize that there is corruption in Washington, but very few understand how deep it really goes.  If the general population really did grasp how corrupt our politicians have truly become, there would be endless protests in the streets of Washington starting tomorrow.  Unfortunately, most of us are still convinced that one of the major political parties will ultimately vanquish the other party and restore integrity to our system.  But what if both major political parties are rotten to the core?

From a very early age, we are trained to think in terms of “good guys” and “bad guys”.  Our stories, our movies, our television shows and even our video games feature “heroes” and “villains”, and we are taught to fully embrace those that are fighting for “good” and to passionately hate those that are doing “evil”.

But the real world doesn’t work that way.

Unfortunately, way too often there are no “good guys” in a real world scenario.  I can think of a number of prominent examples that are in the news right now.  Sometimes it is just “the bad guys” vs. “the bad guys”, and that is because evil has become extremely pervasive in our world in modern times.

. . .

Many go to Congress as idealistic young lawmakers, but it isn’t too long before many of them are corrupted.

The elite will just keep probing until they find a weakness.  For some it is sex, for some it is drugs, for some it is gambling, and for some it is extreme wealth.

And once they identify a weakness that they can exploit, it is game over.
